自由新聞務虛會、哈馬斯領導人和世界自由金融代幣

本週，巴里韋斯宣布了一項吸引黑人男性選民的新舉措。一些背景：她在黑人男性的民調出奇地薄弱。只有 73% 的黑人表示他們會支持韋斯，這是過去三個週期中民主黨候選人支持率的最低水平

Welcome back. Monday is a Free Press “retreat,” by which I mean the entire team is decamping to the New York office for a day. Spoiler: It’s a mistake to invite the Floridians. Bari insists we hire a magician to make dinner special one night, to which I say “No, and also we should do a cash bar.” Here, I can do the card trick myself: Oh look the card’s gone, how are you planning on hitting your Q4 numbers? No plan? Give me back your second slice of pizza.

歡迎回來。週一是新聞自由的“靜修會”，我的意思是整個團隊將前往紐約辦公室休息一天。劇透：邀請佛羅裡達人是一個錯誤。巴里堅持要求我們聘請一位魔術師讓晚餐變得特別，我對此說：“不，我們還應該做一個現金吧。”在這裡，我可以自己玩紙牌戲法：哦，看看紙牌不見了，你打算如何達到第四季的數字？沒有計劃嗎？把你的第二片披薩還給我。

SinwarI know you’re here for my thoughts and condolences for the felled Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar. Obviously, please read our latest by Matti Friedman for that. All I’ll say is that as a Columbia University graduate and a #GayForHamas, my progress flag is at half-staff.

辛瓦爾 我知道你們來這裡是為了表達我對哈馬斯領導人葉海亞·辛瓦爾的思念和哀悼。顯然，請閱讀馬蒂·弗里德曼 (Matti Friedman) 的最新文章。我想說的是，作為哥倫比亞大學的畢業生和#GayForHamas，我的進步旗幟已降半旗。

Here’s a Washington Post investigations reporter explaining that Israel getting Sinwar actually shows how wrong Israel was: “Would be interesting if Sinwar were killed in this seemingly chance encounter, with less than a handful of guards, and not underground surrounded by hostages as Israeli government sources regularly told the media.” Yes, see, the IDF said they were having trouble killing Sinwar because he was underground and surrounded by hostages, but then they killed him when he came above ground and didn’t have hostages. An Israel fail if there ever was one! Anyway, goodnight ruthless terrorist who slaughtered innocents, the sweet prince of Harvard Yard.

《華盛頓郵報》的一名調查記者解釋說，以色列抓到辛瓦爾實際上表明了以色列的錯誤有多大：「如果辛瓦爾在這次看似偶然的遭遇中被殺，那會很有趣，只有不到幾個警衛，而且不像以色列政府消息來源那樣被人質包圍在地下。是的，看，以色列國防軍說他們很難殺死辛瓦爾，因為他在地下並且被人質包圍，但當他來到地面並且沒有人質時他們殺死了他。如果有的話，以色列就失敗了！不管怎樣，晚安，殘忍的恐怖份子，屠殺無辜者，哈佛校園裡可愛的王子。

Is this legal?Kamala Harris this week announced a new initiative to lure black male voters. Some context: Her polling among black men is surprisingly weak. Only 73 percent of black men say they will support Harris, the lowest margin of support for a Democratic candidate in the past three cycles (Biden won 87 percent of the black male vote). Obama chastised them last week, telling the “brothers” he was speaking to that their support of Trump is probably rooted in his skill at “putting women down”—something Obama apparently thinks resonates with black men but offends even me. Obama added: “Part of it makes me think that, well, you aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.” So it’s mommy issues? To try and win over black men, Kamala dropped a new policy on KamalaHarris.com:

這合法嗎？一些背景：她在黑人男性的民調出奇地薄弱。只有 73% 的黑人表示他們會支持哈里斯，這是過去三個週期中民主黨候選人的最低支持率（拜登贏得了 87% 的黑人男性選票）。歐巴馬上週嚴厲批評了他們，告訴與他交談的“兄弟”，他們對川普的支持可能源於他“貶低女性”的技巧——奧巴馬顯然認為這會引起黑人男性的共鳴，但甚至冒犯了我。歐巴馬補充說：“這讓我覺得，好吧，你並沒有感受到讓女性擔任總統的想法，你正在為此想出其他選擇和其他原因。”所以是媽媽的問題嗎？為了爭取黑人男性的支持，卡馬拉在 KamalaHarris.com 上放棄了一項新政策：

Is that paying off voters? And is it legal to offer government loans just for one race? I’m not a constitutional scholar (in my heart I feel I am, but I’m trying to seem relatable), but even I know that feels illegal. Soon after Kamala’s announcement, she walked it back. Whoops, the loans are actually open for everyone, not just black men. But she and her team always knew that.

這是給選民的回報嗎？僅為一場比賽提供政府貸款是否合法？我不是一個憲法學者（在我心裡我覺得我是，但我試圖讓自己看起來有共鳴），但即使我知道這感覺是非法的。卡瑪拉宣布這項消息後不久，她又收回了這項說法。哎呀，貸款實際上對所有人開放，而不僅僅是黑人。但她和她的團隊一直都知道這一點。

She also included an initiative for cryptocurrency in the proposal. I didn’t think of crypto as a black guy–specific issue. I actually think more of very small, pale men who over-rely on their microwave. But now I’m really curious.

她還在提案中納入了加密貨幣倡議。我並不認為加密貨幣是黑人特有的問題。事實上，我更想到的是過度依賴微波爐的身材矮小、臉色蒼白的男人。但現在我真的很好奇。

Meanwhile, a pro-Kamala group called “Creatives for Harris” put out a new ad meant to appeal to men who might be on the fence about voting for Kamala Harris. The actors they hired to play the men look like men, yes, well done. One is super fat and one has a beard, to indicate maleness. But the script was so clearly written by women, probably over some Sweetgreen, and it’s so bad it’s charming. Here are real lines from the guys in the ad (or what the ladies at “Creatives for Kamala” imagine men talk like):

同時，一個名為「哈里斯創意」的支持卡馬拉團體推出了一則新廣告，旨在吸引那些可能對投票給卡馬拉·哈里斯持觀望態度的男性。他們僱來扮演男人的演員看起來像男人，是的，做得很好。一個非常胖，一個留著鬍子，以表明男性。但劇本顯然是由女性寫的，可能是在一些甜綠上寫的，雖然很糟糕，但很迷人。以下是廣告中男人們的真實台詞（或是「Creatives for Kamala」的女士們想像男人們會說的話）：

I’m a man. I’m a man. I’m a man. I’m a man, man. I’m man enough to enjoy a barrel proof bourbon. Neat. I’m man enough to dead-lift 500 and braid the shit out of my daughter’s hair. You think I’m afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat carburetors for breakfast. I ain’t afraid of bears: That’s what bear hugs are for. I’m not afraid of women. A woman wants to be president? Well, I hope she has the guts to look me right in the eye and accept my full-throated endorsement. Because I’m man enough to support women. Man enough to know what kind of donuts I like. I’m man enough to raw-dog a flight. I’m man enough to be emotional in front of my wife, in front of my kids, in front of my horse.

我是一個男人。我是一個男人。我是一個男人。我是一個男人，男人。我有足夠的男子氣概來享受桶裝波本威士忌。整潔的。我有足夠的男子氣概，能硬拉 500 米，還能把我女兒的頭髮編成辮子。你認為我害怕重建化油器嗎？我早餐吃化油器。我不怕熊：這就是熊抱的目的。我不怕女人。女人想當總統？好吧，我希望她有勇氣直視我的眼睛並接受我的全力支持。因為我是個男人，足以支持女人。足夠男人知道我喜歡什麼樣的甜甜圈。我有足夠的男子氣概去拼命飛行。我是一個足夠男人的人，可以在我的妻子麵前、在我的孩子麵前、在我的馬麵前表現出情緒化。

Something about full-throated, raw-dogging, and crying in front of the horse makes me really uncomfortable. This isn’t an ad for someone who has ever met a straight man, let alone interacted with one. If it were, it would be communicated in grunts.

嗓門大、粗暴地纏著馬、在馬面前哭泣讓我真的很不舒服。這不是一則針對曾經見過直男的人的廣告，更不用說與直男互動過的人了。如果是的話，就會用咕嚕聲來傳達。
